Hi everyone! I'm new to The Nest and, having been a Knottie before getting married, I know that this type of post is probably on here ALL THE TIME, but I am looking for some OBGYN recommendations. I have asked around to friends and some have given me names (and I see on this board that some of you have provided names), but what I really want to know is WHY you love your doctor (because different people are looking for different things).
For instance, a gyn that I had a number of years ago was quite talented medically, but had absolutely NO sense of humor or bedside manner and I have a feeling when the time comes for my husband and I to start a family, we're the type of kids who are going to want a little levity in the process!
Can anyone make a recommendation for an OBGYN in the Baltimore area, including the hospital that is their home-base, and give me a few anecdotes about why you love them? It would be a HUGE help. I really want to build a relationship with my doc before my hubby and I start trying.
Thank you so much, in advance!

GL and HTH!
She was funny too, there was a huge mix up and my DH left to go eat while I went into labor. He walked into the room eating chips and drinking a soda when I was pushing and she was like "your DH is so funny, he was just eating chips like he was watching TV"
But thank you for the info! That's exactly the type of anecdotes I'm lookin' for!

Dr Collerius at St Joe was my OB. She was great. Laid back, never any problems with appts. If I had a concern she was more than happy to help. She did have a sense of humor, when I went into labor I went to her office b/c I really didn't know that I was in labor, the pain wasn't getting closer together or more intense so I just decided to see her in the office, well as she was checking me she said, "you're 4 cm dialated, we're having a baby today!" I was so excited and nervous and she calmed me down.
I would also highly recommend St Joes, it was great, all the nurses were great!

Try OB/GYN Associates at Sinai. I see Dr Julie Jacobstein and she's fantastic. 95% of the folks in the practice are women, there is one male Ob. There are two midwives on staff and there are two locations. One at the Hoffberger building on the Sinai campus and one in May's Chapel.
410-601-5530 is the number for the sinai office.

I live in the Baltimore area and delivered at Sinai. I love the practice I go to. The doctors are Kates, Sondergaard, Faber, Minkin, Pearlman and a few others. My main doc is Faber but she broke her leg a few months before I had my baby and was out on disability. Therefore, Dr. Kates delivered me via c-section. She is amazing and I love her! She actually is my favorite and I'll probably stick with her for my future appts.
